Whiplash injury diagnosis

Whiplash injuries are diagnosed by both a study of your symptoms and a physical  examination. You may be required to undergo an MRI scan to assess the extent of damage.

Whiplash injury treatment

The whiplash injury is often treated with pain relief medication and anti-inflammatory drugs. You may require a course of physiotherapy. Acute cases of whiplash injury may require that you wear a surgical collar. If a disc in the vertebrae has been torn or has ruptured then you may require surgery - usually this is only in very severe cases
